Take two thick slices of Noonie's day old bread, smear Honey Cup honey mustard
liberally over both. Cover both slices with green leaf lettuce. Then on one slice only lay smoked turkey on the lettuce,
a tomato slice on the turkey and sprinkle it with shredded carrot. Then on the lay a slice of provolone cheese over the
carrot then a green pepper ring on top of the cheese. Sprikle with sprouts. Cover with the other slice, lettuce side down.
The letuce should be stuck to the bread with honey mustard so it doesn't fall off when you turn it upside down to cover the
sandwich. Slice sandwich in half with a knife. Wrap in tightly in plastic wrap. Use too much wrap. Tape on label. Tadaaa!

sometimes spoke of a 'twofer' (two for the price of one) presidency,
implying that Hillary would play an important role in his
administration."

Yes. Quite. I voted for Tim Ashe, by the way, and no other senate candidate. And even though the ballot box in my ward (Seven) was illegally broken into three times last year, I'm confident my vote was counted "correctly" by Ben Pacy and Jonathon Leopold. And even though the people of Ward Five didn't have enough ballots during the primaries, I'm confident Ben Pacy and Jonathon Leopold counted the Ward Five ballots "correctly" as well. Why? Because according to the comment string at that Free Press article online, the trouble seems to be in Ward One this time.

So as I've been predicting since I first met her and learned about her candidacy, Kesha Ram (pronounced "Kay-Shuh Rom") has taken out Chris Pearson in her bid for a seat in the legislature from the student-heavy Chittenden 3-4 district. Kesha is a tough competitor who knows how to spin.

I think Obama joked the she would replace Welch if he didn't watch his step or something. Funny, but as a constitutional lawyer he must realize you have to be twenty-five to serve in the US House. Kesha is twenty-two. That was how old I was when I was elected to my first and so far only elected office. That was as a Progressive city councilor from Ward Three from 1995-1997. I digress.

Good job Kesha. I knew you wouldn't get Dave, though. Zuckerman is pretty dug-in. And that makes sense since he's a farmer. If the Progs had run Zuckerman for governor, he'd have bloody well done better than 21 percent by golly. Bummer for Gaye Symington though. She stopped me in the mall on Monday but I had such a cold I couldn't shake her hand because I didn't want to get her sick. I told her "good luck tomorrow" but that was just to be polite. I knew Douglas was going to win. How could anyone not have known that?

Also in the mall yesterday I ran into a current candidate for mayor who is not the current mayor. I told him if he wants to win he should attack Leopold, not Kiss. He didn't seem into that. He seemed more into focusing on Kiss and specifically focusing on what he hasn't done as opposed to what he has done. This is a weak strategy. If you can't go after anything Kiss has done wrong, you're not going to win. Serving three years and just not doing enough good stuff, is not enough reason for an incumbent to be kicked out. Just ask Jim Douglas.

If I were running for mayor I'd make a huge deal out of election integrity, if that wasn't already apparent.

Any-hoo. I got up at Five AM and I couldn't go back to sleep so I thought I'd blog. Oh one last thought. I'm already feeling the benefits of an Obama presidency. I made a $20 bet with a woman at work a couple months ago that Obama would win and yesterday she paid up. I tried to refuse twice in good humor, but she insisted. So a big Kramer Boo-yaaa for me. My co-worker was happy to lose the bet. President-Elect Barack Steve Obama. You gotta love it.

I had ZERO problems. Everything went great. I do agree though that something seems fishy and I have begun to look into it. I have no control outside my ward but this needs a closer look so we all can sleep better.

Kesha Ram will have to work a long time to gain the respect Chris Pearson has gained. He's the go to person for labor. Those are working people that need a go to person. It's shameful that the Democrats would run someone against him. Ian Carlton was her treasurer, even. They also ran a Democrat against Dexter Randall a dairy farmer running for his third term. The Republican won and now a respected voice for sustainable agriculture is gone. Oh, but your point earlier on that Pearson isn't a good writer is very important. He should have been thrown out afterall. Nevermind.

Burlington's clerk loves power. Those who represent a threat find themselves chased out, drawn and quartered in the media, or held in Purgatory. He's overseen many ballot "irregularities," most of which -- surprise! -- end up putting his candidate in office.

How low of the Progressives to support this three-year disaster. How weak of the Democrats to let it unfold with hardly a whimper of protest. And local media won't touch him, each for their own reasons.

We've got a Dick Cheney running City Hall, but instead of using the GW model, he's gone with a Jerry Brown-like puppet to hide behind.

I agree with you, Haik... run against Leopold and expose what he's doing. Most Progressive voters simply don't know... they've got a (P) in the Mayor's Office, so they've stopped paying attention.

The press was hounding the city for results so City Hall called two of the wards who did not deliver their ballots, paperwork, etc. yet for the totals. This was Ward 1 and Ward 3. The results from over the phone were written down at City Hall and then announced to the press. The wards reported the correct number..it's just whoever wrote them down from over the phone at City Hall made an error.

You know, when people are rushed to do things, mistakes happen.

Right now, I no longer believe anything fishy is going on.

Anyway, it looks like there will be a re-count since it's a close race.

If the state would allow us to release the tabulator print out results as "preliminary" results I believe it would help solve the issue. The pressure would be off all the poll workers who could concentrate on getting it right and the pres would have results to mull over.

Right now, we can't release the print outs until all the summary sheets are filled out which is very time consuming and it doesn't help when the Press is breathing down your neck.

We used to be able to release the print outs as soon as they came out of the machine...I don't know why on earth this was changed.

I believe Ms. Ram will prove herself to be a strong voice for labor, as well as emerging as a leader on a host of other progressive issues. Seldom have I met someone so capable, thoughtful, and intelligent. I hope that the above poster will give her a chance to show her stuff!
